SPREAD-EAG LE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,683, datedSeptember 15, 1891.

Application filed April 11, 1891- Serial No. 388,561. (No model.)

To all whom it 71mg concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FAoHs, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Spread-Eagles, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to a spread-eagle which can be readily takenapart and put together again, so as to be easily packed and shippedwhenever required, as set forth in the following specification andclaims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a rear view of the eagle with the wings attached. Fig. 2 is a similarview with the wings removed. Fig. 3 is a section through the body andwings.

The letter A designates the body of the eagle, having recesses ordepressions forming shoulders B B. The wings C are placed into therecess with their edges D abutting against the shoulders B, and screwsE, entering suitbly-tapped screw-receiving holes F, Fig. 2, in the body,hold the wings in place. The shoulders B steady the wings. The wingshave pins or studs G entering suitable pin-receiving holes H in thebody, so as to further steady the wings. As the wings can be readilydetached, the eagle can be readily packed and shipped in a compactspace, and when in place on the body the wings are held as firmly inplace as if they were integral with the body.

The advantage of this construction over an eagle made with the wingsfixed to the body is thus readily apparent.

IVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An eagle having its body provided with recesses and screw-receivin gholes, detachable wings seated in the recesses, and attachingscrewsengaging the screw-reoeivi ng holes and securing the wings in positionon the body, substantially as described.

2. An eagle having its body provided with pin and screw receiving holes,detachable wings having pins entering the pin-receiving holes, andattaching-screws engaging the screw-receiving holes and securing thewings in position on the body, substantially as described.

3. An eagle having its body provided with recesses and pin and screwreceiving holes, detachable wings seated in the recesses and providedwith pins entering the pin-receiving holes, and attaching screwsengaging the screw-receiving holes and securing the wings in position onthe body, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
